Long time no see huh?

.......

Y/n pov

"You've been staring at your drink for fifteen minutes. Are you okay?"

I looked up and smiled lightly at Ash, who was sat next to me. 

Was I okay? No, not really. Its been two hours since we've arrived at the restaurant, a fancy one with a private room for the big group. It had been okay for a little bit, seeing all the girls and catching up. But watching everyone interact with Eunji had put a bad taste in my mouth.

It bothered me that no one else seemed to have this off feeling about her. Looking around, Taehyung's hand wrapped tightly around mine, I felt like he was the only one who felt and saw my discomfort.

"I'm okay, just tired from finishing my exams," I said. She didn't seem convinced, but didn't push it farther.

"Well how was exams?" She asked.

"Good, I think I did really good," I confirmed smiling.

As she replied, my eyes glanced around the table, meeting Eunji's. And for some reason, it was like almost a mutual feeling had passed over us both. Why was I the only person who didn't like her?

...

It was nearly midnight by the time we got home. The dinner was... nice. It wasn't great. Just nice. All I could think about is how uneasy Eunji made me feel, and how I just wanted to go home and be with Taehyung.

The front door closed, his hand firmly on my lower back as I slipped out of my shoes. I could hear his millions of silent questions as he watched yeontan happily dance around my legs.

"Just ask, Tae," I said suddenly, eyes turning back to look at him as he took his jacket off to hang up.

"Just...wanted to make sure everything was alright is all," He replied as he stepped towards me. My hands reached for him, sliding up his arms.

"Yeah just tired from everything today." I said. He gave me a look, one I knew meant he didn't believe me in the slightest.

"You know... this whole soulmate thing comes in handy because I can see when you're clearly lying," He laughed gently, his hands cupping my face.

"Tell me what's wrong," He spoke firmly, his warm eyes staring into mine with strictness and protectiveness.

"I don't like Eunji."

The words fell from my mouth, and for some reason I expected him to laugh at me. To call me ridiculous, to make me feel like everyone else has: like I'm going insane.

"Yeah I know that sweetheart," He finally said, thumb brushing my cheek. He stepped closer, keeping my face in his hands so that I didn't look away.

"Tell me why," He spoke clearly, his deep voice making my cheeks warm.

"I... I don't really know," I started, eyes blinking. "There's just something about her that gets me all worked up," I sighed out.

"Aww my sweet baby, are you jealous?" He asked suddenly. I froze in his arms, eyebrows furrowing.

"Why would I be jealous?" I asked.

"You were the new soulmate and now it's suddenly changed," He said. I frowned at him.

"No that's not it." I said.

"Cmon baby, I know it's hard being new and then having someone be even more new," He said. I huffed in annoyance.

"I don't like how she talks about you, how she looks at you. How she makes comments about us. She's weird, and I don't think she has good intentions. I want her away from us," I said in reply.

He silently looked at me, still rubbing my cheeks.

"You know you don't have to worry right? I would never hurt you or do anything to hurt you right?" He asked me. My hands reached up to touch the sides of his neck.

"I have never doubted you and I never will. Its not you that I don't trust," I hummed.

"Well don't let her get under your skin, she's got nothing on you. You're mine, only mine." He spoke, leaning down to kiss my nose. Then my cheek.

"You know you promised me you'd show me how proud you are of me after dinner," I hummed gently. His hands slid down to my hips, pulling me closer.

"I did, didn't I?" He said lowly.

"You did, and I think you should keep that promise," I whispered to him. He smirked, leaning down to kiss me gently, my hands on his neck slowly wrapping around his shoulders. I was on my tiptoes to reach his mouth. 

He smirked as he leaned down, his lips moving against mine as if they were one.

"Let me show you just how proud I am baby," He whispered gently against my lips.

...

I couldn't sleep. It was nearly 3 am and I just couldn't.

Taehyung snored next to me, his honey skin only seen because of the light on my laptop that sat on my lap.

My eyes trailed his sleeping form, my own skin still tingling from earlier activities. He sure did know how to make someone feel special.

When I looked back at my laptop, I wasn't sure exactly what I was doing. I was starting to believe I was becoming too obsessed with  finding the reason Eunji felt off.

My fingers skimmed over the keyboard, not sure what else to type. I had looked at her socials, had looked through her old tweets. Hell I even looked at her mother's page. But nothing explained the off feeling I had about her.

My fingers started to type absentmindedly and when I refocused on my search, my back straightened.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about someone else's soulmate?"

A couple articles came up, nothing really catching my interest or eye. That is— until a news article caught my eye. I clicked on it immediately.

*Polish woman arrested for using black magic to choose her soulmate*

And then it clicked. It all seemed to click. The coincidence of them meeting. Why everyone thought it was a rare coincidence when it wasn't a coincidence at all.

And there I sat, reading articles about illegal magic used to help paying customers choose who their soulmate was. Lots of people thought it was fake or didn't work. But as I learned more information, I knew two things for sure.

Eunji wasn't who she said she was, and she definitely wasn't Jungkook's soulmate.

And I was going to prove it.

...

Okay yeah, I know it's been a long time. I'll post this to see who's still reading. I'm so sorry I love you all 🫶🩶
